Holiday Activity

My 2 year old son’s weekly co-op always has adorable project stations for the children. Last week there was a “pumpkin pie” station that integrated sensory with art. I decided we had to do it at home. So simple.

Pumpkin Pie

Materials Needed:

Two pieces of construction paper {brown for the crust and orange for the pie}

Glue

Shaving Cream

Small Paint Brush or Popsicle Sticks to apply Puff Paint

Holiday Spices like Nutmeg, Cinnamon and Ginger

Paper Craft for Kids

Approach

Cut your “Piece of Pie” ahead of time by gluing a “triangular” or 1/3 circular shaped piece of orange construction paper onto top of a slightly larger piece of similar shaped brown construction paper.

Gather your spices

Mix your Puff Paint (shaving cream and glue)

Set up the project and invite the children to “top a piece of pie”

Encourage the children to apply the puff paint as though it were whipped cream on top of a delicious piece of pie

Then invite them to smell each spice. Name each spice as you smell it and then offer the children a turn to smell

Then ask them which spice(s) they would like to apply onto their pie and let them at it!

Thank you for visiting today! Please leave a comment! I love hearing from you!
